Okay great, thanks for the explanation. I always thought it had to do with # of sports and not actual actual scholarships #'s.

The only sports I feel that would be more popular than soccer is obviously football, basketball, and baseball...but I think Men's soccer could be between #6-7 right away, and evenutally move up to #4.

The bigger question you have to ask is at what point will Men's Soccer start to become a potential revenue sport.
15 or 20 years down the road there's going to be more and more interest in Soccer and quite possibly less and less in football.
It has a little to do with safety but far more to do with the fact that Soccer is tons more affordable than organized Football at all levels.

Most SEC schools have a Men's Club that compete against other SEC schools (Auburn played tOSU in 2012 at Nationals). There are tryouts and coaches and they get team uniforms, etc. Totally NON-Scholarship, open tryouts.

Cut their men's T&F & cross country programs. So did Miss State.
We still have a Men's T&F team. And our Men's Soccer team was started in 1978, while the women's team wasn't started until 1995.

Will the day ever come?
Yes. With the new TV revenue and all the interest growing in the United States ... yes, eventually. Probably sooner rather than later.
The increase in revenue will cover the additional Title IX costs for start-up programs. For teams like SCAR and UK we'll have a head start.
Men's and women's soccer at SCAR is about a break-even endeavor as you can get it at a major university. The facilities are in place and paid for. The recruiting network already established, and we put a lot of fans in the seats.
It'll be far tougher for programs having to start from scratch but it is inevitable because the demand is growing and the SEC is not going to sit still and rest on its laurels knowing full-well that it is a sport of the future in the US and it has revenue potential.
Most importantly, with the increase demand for TV inventory to feed the SECN, schools might actually be able to generate enough revenue (via TV) to make it a break-even sport sooner, rather than waiting around and allowing the league to fall too far behind the ACC and some of the other conferences.

If I was threatened with death and forced to choose between soccer and NASCAR I would pick soccer every time.

It will all end today.
I hope.

They have been saying soccer is going to be the next big thing for 40 years now. This same flair up happens every 4 years
FWIW, I played soccer for 15 years
